Seventeen-year-old Amber lives by strict rules to survive her mother’s love life: Always keep your eyes on the horizon and never get close to anyone connected with Mom's boyfriends.
But when they move in with Kevin, the latest of her mom's "soul mates," Amber’s rules become increasingly difficult to follow. Kevin’s daughter, Cammie, keeps acting like Amber’s friend, even though she’s definitely not. And Jordan Baugh—star player on the basketball team and Cammie's best friend—keeps showing up at the most inconvenient moments.
Amber has reasons for every one of her rules, and following them is the only way to protect her heart when her mom inevitably moves on. But as she spends more time with Kevin, his daughter, and especially Jordan, she starts to wonder if the rules might be worth breaking this time.
